A hydrogen atom contains one electron and one proton. (a) Find the electric force between the proton

Question:

A hydrogen atom contains one electron and one proton.
(a) Find the electric force between the proton and the electron. (The distance between an electron and a proton in a hydrogen atom is 5.29 x 10–11 m. A proton’s positive charge has the same magnitude as the negative charge of an electron.)
(b) What is the gravitational force between a proton and an electron?
(c) If the electric force is stronger than the gravitational force, why don’t people accelerate toward charged combs, balloons, and other electrically charged objects?
